This page is an adjunct to Early Modern Literary Studies (EMLS). Like the journal, Interactive EMLS serves as an arena for scholarly discussion and as an academic resource for researchers in sixteenth and seventeenth century English literature, literary culture, and language. Whereas EMLS presents a refereed journal for finished articles, this service is a moderated repository where people can deposit material for commentary, find resources for research, and can exchange ideas and information. Before submitting material to any of the sections below, please read the guidelines for submitting material. If you have ideas for conferences which might be publicized through iEMLS, would like space to promote other academic projects, or have any other ideas or queries please contact Paul Dyck at Paul.Dyck@UAlberta.ca or Jennifer Lewin at Jennifer.Lewin@Yale.edu.
Resources: The Resources section provides information to aid researchers of early modern literature. Subject bibliographies, guides to research libraries and materials, tables of contents of journals and books, and other material are included.
